Kerry introduces Smart Taste™ to advance flavour innovation and industry resilience.

Kerry, a global pioneer in taste and nutrition, has announced Smart Taste™. This exclusive portfolio of taste solutions helps food and beverage makers address modern industrial issues without compromising flavour quality.

Smart Taste™ brings together the company's knowledge from various portfolios, including Dairy Taste, Tastes of Fire (cooking flavours), Tastesense™ Salt, Sweetness and Masking, Cocoa, and Citrus.

Kerry hopes that this combination will help producers cope with increased regulatory challenges, volatile ingredient costs, and supply chain constraints, all while preserving the outstanding taste that consumers expect.

One of Smart Taste's primary inventions is solving the cocoa problem, which has resulted in rising costs and supply challenges around the world.

Kerry's cocoa boosters in the Smart Taste line allow producers to cut cocoa usage by up to 50% while maintaining indulgence and richness.

This strategy saves up to 40% in costs while lowering carbon emissions by up to 48%, indicating a big step towards sustainability.

Smart Taste also addresses the global trend of sugar reduction.

Kerry's Tastesense Sweetness technology allows for up to 100% sugar reduction by rebuilding mouthfeel, improving sweetness perception, and eliminating unwanted off-notes, ensuring regulatory compliance and consumer pleasure in reduced-sugar and sugar-free product lines.
